Hi Sandra & Jan,

Sandra... my husband's Great Grandfather was a boxer....John RODGER married
Theresa Mary THEARLE in Ballina 1895. They lived in Casino and surrounding
districts.

I'll ask a few more questions of the senior members in the Rodgers family
and get back to you.

Jan...we chatted back in August 2001, but I don't think we ever resolved
who 'George Rodgers' belonged to.

John & Theresa only had 10 children that I know of, and that didn't include
a 'George'.

Frank Gibson RODGERS who married Iris Pearl GREY in Casino 1934, is John &
Theresa Rodgers 6th child.

Have you been able to find out who George Rodgers' parents were since we
last chatted?

Kind regards,
Sherrie.
Sydney.
